How far??
 

I was just wondering how far you can actually shoot an arrow out of an average xbow. I would try it, but if it is more than 250 yards I'm gonna launch one into the river.
Is 250 yards an OK distance to hunt deer or would that be pushing the ethical limit? >>>>>>>>>>>Whack! !

If a 17 pointer, Pope and Young Buck is standing in the river, go for it.
BBO

Now you made that post at 4:22 so I am assuming you just woke up from a afternoon nap and are feeling froggy? Your bad John! LOL!! I would try it with the pistol first though!

Hey look yuh bunch of knuckleheads...Pistol Xbows are only for the generals in my army. Not every soldier gets one and when the enemy is approaching I want to know when to scream FIRE!!!
I also figured with all the combined "knowledge" in here someone would know the answer to the question. I think they have distance competitions with foot bowsin some countries...
Ok OK ... dumb A$$ question. Like I don't get enough crap from my wife.
PS.. I am working out the details at one of the local eateries for some night time mouse hunting. These are free range mice as in they have free range of the kitchen but the fences are relatively low.

Yes there is no doubt you can reach the river on any shot you want to make![8D]

Whackey tabaccey or Captian Morgan or Johnny Walker or just a overly mature thought process:D

Capt. Morgan and no other my friend! On those shots just elivate said Cb about a 70 degree angle let it fly towards the river. Do it to it!:D

distances shot The furthest distance shot with any bow is 2,047 yards (1,871.84m) . This was shot by the late Harry Drake in 1988 using a crossbow. The furthest with a hand-held - and pulled - bow is 1,336 yds 1' 3" (1,222.01m) , shot by Don Brown with an unlimited conventional Flight bow in 1987. My 40kg Compound World Record of 1,162 yards was made shooting a 30 kg bow -- I can't pull 40 kg!

I just got up from a rainy day nap so....
